658: They solved a lot of problems.

"Bang."

Old Master Wang slammed the table forcefully.

"Shut up! Call a clan meeting? You want to call a clan meeting just because of a rumor? What do you take the clan members for? Xiao Yi is our biological daughter. If you dare to listen to outside rumors and spout nonsense again, don't blame me for kicking you out of the clan..."

What?

The Third Branch Couple were extremely shocked upon hearing Old Master Wang's words.

"Big Brother, you want to expel us from the clan over something like this?"

Old Master Wang snorted coldly.

"I am the clan head of the Wang Clan, and what I say goes! Since you refuse to listen, then go develop yourselves outside."

The Third Branch Couple trembled in fear.

Develop outside? How could they! They only lived so well because they were members of the Wang Family. If they weren't Wang Family members and were driven out of the clan, it wouldn't take a day before they were dealt with and their family assets seized.

"Big Brother, please don't be angry, I was wrong, I won't say any more..."

Third Master Wang immediately spoke soothing words.

"Apologize to Xiao Yi. If I hear any more rumors outside, don't blame me, your Big Brother, for being impolite to you..."

Hearing Big Brother's warning, Third Master Wang and Third Mistress Wang immediately apologized to Wang Yi.

"Eldest Niece, it was your Third Uncle and Third Aunt who were wrong, please don't be angry."

"That's right, please don't hold it against us."

After Xiao Niannian finished eating barbecue, she called her mother. She called once, but no one answered; it seemed her mother wasn't home yet.

"Eldest Miss, the phone in your room is ringing."

A servant walked over to report.

Hearing this, Wang Yi realized her daughter was calling her, and she immediately headed upstairs.

The Third Branch Couple watched Wang Yi ignore them and head straight upstairs, feeling suspicious.

Could something major have happened? Usually, no matter how big the matter, Wang Yi would walk slowly, but now she had rushed over quickly.

Third Master Wang signaled to his sons. As the two cousins stood up, the bodyguards near the stairs blocked them.

Old Master Wang watched their actions and felt that his younger brother's family was truly hopeless.

They focused all their cunning on their own family but were utterly foolish toward outsiders.

If it weren't for his daughter supporting the family, how could the Third Branch be living such a good life now?

His and his wife's health wasn't great now. For the past two decades, his daughter had supported the family and raised his son so well.

Thinking of his son in Guangzhou City, he felt very grateful to his daughter.

"Grandparents."

Wang Xiangguo walked in.

"Xiao Guo, you're back."

Third Master Wang smiled upon seeing his great-Nephew.

"Third Grandfather, Third Grandmother."

Wang Xiangguo greeted them.

"Why are you only coming back now? Were you on a date with a female classmate?"

Third Master Wang asked cheerfully.

"I was delayed by something."

Third Master Wang felt that regarding this matter, his Eldest Nephew hadn't returned and might also be afraid of Wang Yi. Now he could ask his great-Nephew, who might know something.

He signaled to his sons.

"Mom."

Hearing the phone ring, Xiao Niannian spoke.

"Niannian."

Wang Yi smiled.

"How have you been these past few days?"

"Very well. How about you, Mom?"

"Mom is also doing very well."

Wang Yi did not tell her daughter about the matters in Hong Kong City. She didn't want her daughter to worry about her. She could handle the affairs in Hong Kong City.

She didn't need to fear anyone's schemes.

These people only resorted to this tactic because they were desperate.

As for Third Uncle and Third Aunt, she didn't pay them any mind.

After Xiao Niannian talked with her mother for a while, she looked toward Lu Jing.

She put down the phone and spoke.

"Are there some rumors circulating in Hong Kong City?"

After Zhang Fu met her mother, she guessed that this news couldn't be kept secret for long.

Moreover, Zhang Fu and her group were very close to the Qiao Family people.

The Qiao Family people, acting this way, just want to target her father and the others. They just hadn't found evidence before.

Now, even though they can't find evidence regarding this matter, they can use such rumors to prevent Dad from being promoted, causing the higher-ups to suspect him and preventing him from being in charge of important tasks anymore.

Hmph, they certainly have good intentions.

These schemes won't succeed. Mom won't admit anything now, and in the past two years, people from the USA have visited several times. Ostensibly, the USA is showing goodwill towards us and establishing mutual exchanges.

In another two or three years, the situation will improve even more.

"There are some, but Mom definitely didn't want you to know, afraid you would worry..."

Lu Jing naturally had his own intelligence channels.

Xiao Niannian hummed in affirmation.

Just as she was about to speak to Lu Jing again, the phone rang.

"Hello."

"Niannian, it's Uncle."

Hearing Young Master Wang's voice, Xiao Niannian spoke.

"It's so late, Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Your little brother just called me, saying that Third Uncle's family rushed over..."

After hearing Uncle Wang's words, Xiao Niannian spoke.

"Uncle, don't worry, this matter won't have any impact."

She couldn't tell Uncle that her father and grandfather had already reported this matter to the higher-ups long ago.

Even her political rivals certainly hadn't expected that her father and grandfather would report the matter so early.

After all, this matter could be considered minor, but if it blew up, it would be major! It would cause a lot of trouble.

Hearing his Niece's words, Young Master Wang felt a weight lifted off his chest.

"Don't try to trick your Uncle. The news has spread in Hong Kong City, so it must have spread where you are too..."

"I'm truly not tricking you, please rest assured."

After talking on the phone with Young Master Wang for more than ten minutes, Xiao Niannian looked toward Lu Jing.

What she had previously guessed had now come true.

Fortunately, her grandfather and father had disclosed the matter early, otherwise, great trouble would await them.

Now, those people are making such a fuss in Hong Kong City because they want to escalate the situation, hoping the aristocratic families in Hong Kong City will deal with the Wang Family. And once our side receives the news, the Commanders above will certainly have differing opinions.

Fortunately, the one hundred million yuan donation before was, arguably, a lucky coincidence that solved many problems.

Seeing his wife frowning, Lu Jing reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

Lu Jing inhaled the faint fragrance on his wife and spoke.

"These matters won't have any impact, don't worry..."

Xiao Niannian nodded.

She knew the trajectory of the next fifty or sixty years and wanted to try hard to change some things. Yet she found that she could make small changes, but the major ones were impossible to alter.

"Finish reading this proposal, and then I'll revise it and submit it..."

"Okay."

Lu Jing looked at his wife, knowing that she was dedicated to the good of the country.

"Let's read it together."
